Shrimp Toast and Bok Choy were found living in the woods by two Good Samaritans.   These purebred Chow Chows were thin, dirty, fearful and their ears were half eaten by flies.  It appeared that the female had recently given birth.  Their rescue angels spent the next few weeks bringing them food, befriending them and looking for their puppies and a possible owner.  Neither owner nor puppies could be found.  During dinner at a Chinese Restaurant, Eli and Mike made the decision they would save them and choose two names off the menu.  They took the sad pair to a Vet and made sure they were given whatever medical care they needed.  They paid for them to stay at the Vets until they were well enough to be spayed and neutered.  They both required being shaved down.  When they came into our Rescue, while their physical scars were still visible, they were well on their way to emotional healing.  Shrimp Toast is growing out a beautiful cinnamon coat and Bok Choy, a rich deep red.  They seem to want to put their awful past behind them and while a little shy at first, quickly respond to affection and are very loving in return.  They are very gentle souls and  good with children.  After what they have experienced and been though together, they have developed a very special relationship and this picture reflects their physical and spiritual bonding.  We would love for them to be placed together and know they will bring twice the joy and wagginess that any family could hope for.
